Our Story, our hooks

The Monticola Snake Hook is a conservation tool that is ideal for long expeditions and urban snake rescues because they’re compact, portable, durable and designed to serve people and wildlife.

Portable and lightweight: Our hook is lighter than your phone and fits in your bag easily. Long handle or collapsible snake hooks often don’t fit in or tear through bags, or the extensions break. The Monticola snake hook is ultra portable because it just includes the hook and a slot for a stick, broom, and even a pencil to use as the handle.

Tough and durable: The heavy-duty 6mm stainless steel body can lift logs and furniture during snake rescues. It’s waterproof and rust-proof, too!

For a good cause: Monticola snake hooks have been prototyped and refined in the field across the world over several years. It is designed for the safety of humans and snakes so that we can share space and co-exist peacefully. 


100% of the proceeds go towards snakebite mitigation across India.

I’m using this Monticola snake hook from last one and half years and it’s very handy and strong. And it can attach to any stick you find around and it fits in a very small bag that you always carry. In places like Assam where snakes are very commonly found in human habitation so it’s very essential to have a  Monticola

This is a great tool and helps me a lot as I am often called to rescue snakes out of houses when I am working. This, along with the snake bag is a very good device for people like me
